FIG. 3 shows a detailed area configuration of the buffer (BtIF) 4 shown in FIG. 1.

In this figure, the communication log information area 22 is an area for storing results such as communication time and the like at the time of document transmission and document reception (details thereof will be described later). The transmitted/received document information area 23 is an area for storing received documents received from the communication line via the line interface 14, transmitted document information for which transmission was not performed normally, and the like.

FIG. 4 shows a detailed area configuration of the communication log information area 22 shown in FIG. In this figure, a communication result number area 24 is an area for storing the number of document transmission/reception results, a document name area 25, and an identification information area 261, which will be described later.
Date area 27. Indicates the number of valid entries made up of the result area 28.

The document name area 25 is a column area that stores the names of transmitted and received documents.

The identification information area 26 stores identification information consisting of a country code, a dial number, and an abbreviation.

The date area 27 is an area that stores the date and time when the document was sent and received.

The result area 28 is an area that stores information as to whether or not the document was sent and received normally.

The operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be explained below with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure when a key on the keyboard (B) 6 is pressed, and this program is stored in the ROM 2 (see FIG. 1).

First, in step S1, it is monitored whether or not a key has been pressed manually from the keyboard (KB) 6, and when a key has been pressed manually, the process proceeds to step S2.

In step S2, the input key is the communication result key 18.
Check whether it is or not. As a result, if the communication result key is 18, the process advances to step S3.

In step S3, communication result processing to be described later is executed, and after the processing is completed, the process returns to step S1 in preparation for the next key manual operation.

If it is determined in step S2 that the communication result key 18 is not manually operated, various processes corresponding to each key are executed, and then the process returns to step S1 and waits for the next key manually operated.

The details of the communication result processing in step S3 described above will be explained below with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When the communication result key 18 is pressed manually, in step S5, various information (see FIG. 4) stored in the communication log information area 22 of the buffer (BUF) 4 is stored in the RAM 3. Then, using the date information (date area 27) stored in the RAM 3 as a sort key, the data corresponding to the number of entries stored in the number of communication results area 24 is sorted, and the "Communication Results" screen (see Figure 7) Set communication log information to the latest communication results in each item field,
After that, display the screen on (:RT8).

FIG. 8 shows an example of display on the CRT 8 after communication data has been set.

When the screen display on the CRT 8 is finished in this manner, the process waits for a key input from the keyboard (KB) 6 in step S6, and if a key is input, the process advances to step S7.

In step S7, it is checked whether the input key is the end key 21 or not. As a result, if the end key is 21,
Ends communication result processing.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S7 that the manually pressed key is not the end key 21, the process advances to step S8.

In step S8, various processes (
After printing the communication results, etc.), return to step S6,
Prepare for the next key workforce.

In addition, in this embodiment described so far, the transmission/reception results are CR
Although displayed on the display screen of T8, the transmission/reception results may be directly printed on a printing device such as a printer.

It is also possible to configure the system to display the transmission results and reception results in real time after instructing the transmission of multiple documents by time-specified transmission.

Furthermore, the display screen of the CRT 8 may be divided by a multi-window function or the like, and the transmission result screen and the reception result screen may be displayed simultaneously.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, transmission results and reception results can be viewed on the same screen, so it is possible to know the status of document transmission and reception with a single operation or automatically. becomes possible. Therefore, not only the work becomes easier, but also the work time can be significantly shortened.
